Clarification about File Creation Day of Year #148

Closed wiesehahn closed 2 months ago

wiesehahn commented 2 months ago

What is the issue about?

Inquiry about the specification

Issue description

In the specification under 2.4 it says

File Creation Day of Year Day, expressed as an unsigned short, on which this file was created. Day is computed as the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) day. January 1 is considered day 1.

Does this actually has nothing to do with data aquisition but means the date when the file was created (e.g. after initial processing)?

See this discussion https://github.com/ASPRSorg/LAS/issues/138 where the question has already been asked

thought I had a look if there was an issue already, sorry. Still confusing to me anyway.
